Review: Daughter of The Spellcaster

Lena Dunkirk is the second sister of the Babylonian witches, trying to save the Lilia's lover Demetrius. Lena is a practicing witch with her mother, Selena, as her guide. Lena is a powerful witch since she was a little girl. She's seen the past and created fantasy stories about it. As an adult, she has left it all behind as whimsical dreams. This is, until she meets playboy, Ryan McNally.

In this past lover reunited story, Lena is stronger than the first sister, Indira. It isn't just about her power and faith, it's about her character. Lena seems to be able to handle her own problems. She is supposed to come across as a savvy independent woman. Or at least the reader is told this information. Lena is unable to demonstrate it. So far, she's knocked up out of wedlock, unemployed due to her resignation and she can't communicate to save her life. She comes across as a temperamental, emotional, insecure and paranoid female. Reading from her point of view can cause a reader to want to slap her upside the head repeatedly.

Ryan's actions make more sense. Even though he's painted as a heartless cad, none of his actions prove this point. This is the author's point, so it's good to see that Ryan's character is the way it should be. He is the heart of gold hero who will save the princess in the end.

There were no surprises in this story. Ms. Shayne set up all the spoilers/clues upfront for the reader to easily surmise the ending as well as the evil villains. In this book, more is revealed about the past and it still reminds me of the movie, The Mummy Returns. This story is an easy read and enjoyable regardless of Lena. This book is recommended for paranormal romance lovers who enjoy reunited lovers from past lives.

What is chemical play? Is it acids that are used to burn body parts?
No. It's using different types of substances to illicit sensation on
the skin and perhaps in the body. Generally the substances are in liquid
form for easy application. I'm going to go through only the ones I've
used. I am sure there are more. Hopefully others will be happy to
share their experiences. As usual, I'm going to use the terms Top and
bottom for the person applying the person receiving, respectively.

Safety first

With chemical play, while there is a lessor possibility of harm, it
still exists. There can be adverse reactions. It could be a person is
allergic to the chemical. It is important to ask about any allergies
the bottom may have.

Another thing to be concerned with
chemical play is where it contacts. There are some things which can
burn and temporarily damage delicate mucus membranes. Not everyone's
body reacts the same to chemicals so it is…

What?How can stapling be sexy?Who
wants to be stapled?How on earth did
these BDSM deviants pervert a stapler?
Are these the thoughts running through your
head?They were the thoughts running
through my head.The only time I've seen
stapling done on a person is on the Jackass
Movie.There doesn't seem to
be a clip of it on Youtube.However,
Steve-O from Jackass did do it again with a regular stapler here.
The stapler I'm referring to is NOT a regular
office stapler or a staple gun found at a hardware store.Could you use those?Yes.Is it advisable?No.Instead, we are going to learn about surgical
staple guns.There are a couple of
different brands.
The focus of this topic is where you can
staple and how you can mix it up in your scene. Safety
Yes, it's safety time again!It's boring but mandatory.
First, stapling does cause a break in the
skin.Depending on the person and
sometimes even the time of the month, a person may or ma…

What is a sensual sadist? How does this work? Doesn't a sadist only
give pain? I've read in some books which argue there is no such thing
as a sensual sadist and they don't like that phrase at all.

I
have had the pleasure of attending a class from a self titled, Sensual
Sadist. Here are my notes from the class. Any mistakes are due to me
as a note taker, not the presenter.

The presenter in the class
was Haven. He's a second generation Dom. His parents are in the
lifestyle and lived it as he was growing up in the household.

Haven
was an extremely dynamic presenter who kept the class captivated. He
was well spoken and based on his work at Renaissance Faires, I'm not
surprised. Haven is on fetlife. He also has a blog which he adds to
here and there - Kinky as I am.

What does it mean to be a sensual sadist?

For Haven, it means two parts.

1. More senses than just touch. Toys can be used to caress or cause pain.
